Abstract
An exerciser for monitoring ballistic force, i.e., the force generated by changing the momentum of a moving object, including a base, an active member movably mounted on the base for movement by a user during exercise from a rest position in which the active member is at rest through a home position to an extended position. A start switch starts a timer when the active member is displaced from the rest position. The timer runs for a timer period. As the active member is moved successively between the home and extended positions a counter switch connected in series with said start switch increments a repetition counter. The distance between the timer and counter switches is adjustable. The number of repetitions performed during the timer period is displayed for the user's information.

An exerciser for monitoring ballistic force, comprising:
- a base means for supporting a user;
- an active member movably mounted on said base means for movement by a user during exercise from a rest position in which the active member is at rest through a home position to an extended position;
- a start switch for starting a timer when said active member is displaced from said rest position, said timer running for a timer period;
- a counter switch connected in series with said start switch for incrementing a repetition counter when said active member passes through the home position toward the extended position;
- means for adjusting the distance between the timer and counter switches;
- and
- a display for displaying the number of repetitions performed during the timer period.
